    I still haven't heard anything about the OPW placements since the interview. I think its ridiculous that we are paying Engineers Ireland for membership and they treat us like this.:mad:

    hi
    I apply for work placement in limerick County Council and an office near to me would of being Glad to take me on as a volunteer. But then he was told that form Human Resource said the unions do not allow placement even unpaid so i didn't get placement!. I’m in my 4th engineer course and I need to get this.

    The interview for this placement was in November. They told us then that we would be informed around the 20th of December. As of today I still haven't heard back so honestly what opportunity are they giving. They haven't even been in touch with me since the interview. I still think its bad form. Even an email to say the decision has been delayed would be nice.

    Got a letter from them maybe 4/5 weeks ago. Maybe yours got lost in the post or something. The people who got accepted started the beginning of January i believe. Sorry for being the bearer of bad news.
